^ I created a spreadsheet for all sixty something used 4CT that were for sale in the U.S. I thought my min build was pretty basic but I found only two for sale. I was surprised that so many owners spec lots of expensive cosmetic options yet go light on the ADAS and related tech. I realize it’s...

I confess that the Model S would have tempted me aside from all its other drawbacks had it just been equipped with an HUD and adjustable regen … although now that I wrote that, I see that after previously allowing adjustable regen yet then eliminating it during the roughly three-year period when...

Is that what Maui recently experienced, a euphemistically termed "thermal event"?

The short answer to the first q is that the trip would have been fine with my future theoretical 4CT. Details here for the planning and outcome with my (wife's) i4 M50 (~280 mi typical range, as compared to the 271 EPA rating, so close to the 4CT)...

True, but ... ... depending on the definition of "working" that could end up putting lots of miles on your Cayenne. For example, here is my research for a family trip tomorrow of EA locations in north suburban Boston (with all the other CCS networks having just one or two DCFC chargers per...

I've found many conflicting references to this, since I'm contemplating such a rental at the end of the month, especially since that way I won't have to gas up at 4am (literally) in advance of my return flight. The most likely answer seems to be the lesser of 70% or whatever the SoC was upon the...

This discussion of ICE merits for major roadtripping reminds me of my drive back from Richmond VA on Thursday. So glad that I took my A6ar instead of my (wife's) i4 M50 (given EA concerns) -- traffic from north of DC into southern CT was far worse than I'd even experienced, so I drove straight...

Tesla next spring is already planning to open up its ~12k 250kW V3 Superchargers in North America to CCS1 EVs from the companies that have agreed to Tesla’s terms. Which have not yet been publicly revealed. The remaining holdouts of VAG, BMW, Kiaundesus, and Toyota/Subaru will not be very...

I preferred the AI version! ?

I was thinking of this thread while planning a trip yesterday to the NJ Meadowlands Mall (ski instructor continuing education event to fulfill my certification requirement, combined with visiting friends). EA coverage is sufficient on my return trip, especially since I don’t have any family...

Wow! I just happened to have been reading about the Fashion Alley EA location at a BMW forum. Scores only 1.6 at PlugShare which often somehow generates nearly perfect 10 scores for miserable EA locations. Maybe Fashion Valley deserves a rating boost for the entertainment, even if violent.

So glad somebody picked up on the best part of that! Maybe EA can elaborate on that further in the next investment plan: https://chat.openai.com/share/8119b868-7f3f-44af-99f0-5c6e2a4fb3e4 Meanwhile, back in reality ... ... last weekend we went on a family overnight trip of Amherst MA > Bedford...

IIRC, my assessment was that your Executive Case Specialist is a sophomore communications major who has a summer internship feeding such customer service inquiries into ChatGPT. But since that internship might be winding down as the return to school approaches, here's a pretty good response...

Uh oh, I've also done this in Canada! Specifically, Quebec City. But it was just for tips to tour guides and donations to street performers. So no requests for cash back. Back to the main topic... ... that 48-unit Supercharger station is such a compare/contrast with EA, even if all four EA...

P is plug; R is receptacle. Helpful to keep that straight if you're looking to buy an adapter/dongle for various types of NEMA plugs that you might encounter in desperation. (Though remember to reduce the amps during such charging.) The car charging adapter listings though are usually...

That would be a big problem is the prior renter returned at something like 99%...

I was curious about the exact %, so I looked on-line and found references to 10%, 20%, 70%, and 75% -- as well as the lesser of those or the SOC upon taking delivery. Either way, when I then looked up the Tesla map for my itinerary (PDX > Mt Hood > Beaverton > PDX), yep, many choices for...

Out of curiosity, I compared the lower-range MY to the comparably equipped Subaru EV -- accounting for the $7.5k federal tax credit (whose "income" limit is not really income as AGI is way below what anyone considers income if pushing the $300k married cut-off), the Tesla is about $8k *less*...

My impression from the various press releases is that the workaround next spring for CCS vehicles from the allied manufacturers will be removable adapters carried by each driver (just like the existing three different types of charging adapters). By contrast, the Magic Dock test sites with an...

Good point, especially given that the price for Tesla's own NACS-P <> CCS-R adapter is only $175, so the Tesla NACS-R <> CCS-P adapter will probably be priced similarly given that it's just the same thing but with the R<>P reversed. (Even more curious is how Tesla asks for only another $275 to...
